Lyrics

Let me tell you about Downtown Charlie,just plain DC
tell you about Downtown Charlie, he was a friend to me. and if you`ve ever been where O`farrell meets Jones, that`s where he called it home, it was the heart of The Tenderloin.
Ships come in and sailors come ashore, the city`s like a beautiful whore... and she wants more than he has, it`s always more,more than he has, poor brother Chaz. He had the Blues man, he really paid
And when Charlie checked out, they took his body away, it was a quiet funeral somewhere in Idaho. Now his spirit`s free to roam like music from a horn, there was`nt time to mourn...
But if there had, it would be Jazz for brother Chaz Jazz for Charlie, American Jazz, so let it be now
(solo) Now he`s free to roam, there was`nt time to mourn, but if there had
